Heterochromatin epimutations impose mitochondrial dysfunction to confer antifungal resistance
2024-11-13
Abstract excerpt
Global health and food supply are endangered by an increasing frequency of antifungal resistance in pathogenic fungi. Wild-type fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe , can gain resistance to insults such as caffeine and antifungal compounds through reversible epimutations. Resistant epimutants exhibit histone H3K9 methylation-dependent heterochromatin islands at various chromosomal locations, reducing expressi...
